Manual evacuation of sanitary sewage from deep residential sumps is the primary focus of this high-pressure macerator unit. It targets pressure sewer installations where the user requires complete control over the dewatering process to shift liquids containing fibrous matter. The industrial-grade construction excels in demanding biological wastewater environments where consistent solids reduction and high-head pressure are primary operational requirements.
Driven by a 1.1 kW / 240v single-phase motor, the assembly draws 10.7 Amps to sustain high hydraulic displacement. It generates a maximum head of 90 m while Achieving a flow rate of 50 L/Min, based on verified technical data. This electrical configuration maintains operational torque during active macerating cycles, ensuring the pressure behavior remains consistent for high-lift sewer discharge tasks.
Fluid reduction is facilitated by a high carbon martensitic stainless steel macerating ring that creates a grinding action to process sewage containing soft solids. This configuration uses a stainless screw rotor and elastomer stator to move the reduced particles through small-diameter piping without the risk of mechanical blockage. The system provides positive displacement, sustaining stable volumetric performance during consistent transfer tasks.
Structural integrity is centered on a heavy-duty cast iron body and motor casing for superior impact resistance in submerged duty. Safety features include an IP68 enclosure rating and Silicon Carbide mechanical seals to protect the 4-pole induction motor during practical submergence depths up to 6.5 metres. The 40kg unit is supplied with a 9.5m power lead featuring a standard 10 amp 3-pin plug.
FEATURES
- Specialized screw rotor assembly delivers consistent positive displacement in high-pressure sewer duty.
- High carbon martensitic stainless steel macerating ring grinds solids for safe transfer through pipes.
- Manual operation mode gives site personnel precision control during specific sewage evacuation tasks.
- Cast iron hydraulic body and motor housing provide superior mechanical strength and durability.
- 4-pole induction motor is engineered for intermittent duty pumping of sanitary and biological sewage.
- Silicon Carbide mechanical seals offer high reliability and resistance to abrasive liquid particles.
- Massive 90m head performance provides the pressure necessary for deep-sump sewer discharge.
- In-built thermal overload protection prevents damage to motor windings during intensive macerating.
FAQs
